The Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille has lost his job a few months after visiting Kenya for talks with president Wiilliam Ruto.
Garry Conille was fired on Sunday by the country’s election council following a political power struggle that has plagued the war-stricken nation since gangs took over.
According to the official notice published in Le Moniteur, the country’s Gazette, on Sunday, November 11, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, an entrepreneur who owns a chain of dry cleaners and a former Senate candidate was selected by the transition council to replace Conille.
The reasons for his firing, however, remain unknown.
Didier Fils-Aimé is also the former president of Haiti’s Chamber of Commerce.
In early October, Conille landed in Kenya for talks with President William Ruto following the deaths of over 70 people at the hands of the gangs in Central Haiti.
bilateral talks were held on issues centered on the Multinational Security Support Mission which is led by Kenya.
The two leaders also discussed ways of strengthening the longstanding ties between Kenya and Haiti, particularly in areas of mutual interest, including security cooperation and fostering partnerships that promote regional stability.
The Prime Minister’s seat will now be ushering in its third prime minister in three years since Haiti’s president was murdered in July 2021, leaving the top seat vacant for years as no elections have been conducted since.
